Status

Note that most status pages do not produce output that is easily readable. If you are a user looking for current cluster load, the best monitor for your needs is probably Ganglia. Use the Condor monitor to ascertain the status (and availability) of batch slots. SAM tests if the site is technically capable of servicing grid jobs. The list of currently hosted datasets can be found on the PhEDEx website.
